In small print at the bottom of the email it says ". We are upgrading your current broadband kit for a new Hub 3.0, for free."
In view of the problems with SH3 which are well documented I shall not be taking up the offer.

Excellent news, thanks
My last question, I've been reading the hub and V6 need to be in the same room?
If that's the case the hub will have to move

No it doesn't mate, I have three V6 boxes and they're all connected via WiFi, having said that I have had connection problems just recently with a poor wifi signal, but I think I've solved the problem by connecting with the 2.4GHz signal rather than the 5GHz signal.

Re: V6 offer from VM
The online order has told me an engineer will be coming out to move equipment
Will I be able to call to specify I just want the box swapped and nothing else changed which I'm sure I could do myself?

Yes, just tell him you want the new Hub 3 to be in the same place as the Shub that he's replacing, that's what I did and it all went fine.

That’s the only thing stopping me, nothing on the tivo we especially need to keep so happy to have a new toy to play with

I got moved over to a SH3 a couple of weeks ago and I have found that the wireless reach / performance has actually improved over the SH2 I had.

Re: V6 offer from VM
Had a call today from a foreign call centre today offering me an upgrade from my 500 TiVo to a V6.
I've never had a 500 TiVo and have had a V6 since before the official release date
Not really happy that VM are passing details about me to God knows where in the world, incorrect or otherwise.

When I got my V6,I moved the Tivo upstairs to replace the VHD box and I only pay £1 extra now.

...but you didn't add a box.
You replaced a multiroom V HD box (cost £6.50) with a multiroom TiVo (cost £7.50), hence the nett £1 per month extra.

All went smoothly after discovering the box wedged between the gas meter and the wall when I got home from work!
Spent most of last night just clicking on apps because I was so amazed at how quickly they loaded

Re: V6 offer from VM
Got a letter in to replace a Samsung V+ with a V6 at no extra cost.
